Just in time for Labor Day weekend, here's our latest contributor feature. Take it away, MysteryGuest!

Gorgeous German actress Wolke Hegenbarth now ties with Teri Hatcher for most ScreenTies clips, but Wolke's achievement is particularly impressive since all her scenes come from a single show with just 48 episodes! That record-breaking show is the German crime comedy "Alles Klara."

Wolke plays Klara Degen, the clever secretary at Quedlinburg police station. Each episode is roughly the same...

• There's a murder.
• Klara solves the case first and goes after the killer herself.
• Klara is caught, ends up in mortal peril, and is rescued just in time.

That's a winning formula in my book, and the scene count speaks for itself!

Unfortunately, Wolke quit the show in 2018, which led to its cancellation. Had it continued, I've calculated that the scenes could easily have been into the 40s by now...
 
So, that's Klara, but who are her friends? To understand that, let's rewind to 2011, the 25th anniversary of the ever-popular show, "Großstadtrevier." Its broadcaster, DasErste, took inspiration and created a set of new shows called "Heiter bis Tödlich" (Cheerful to Deadly). All blended crime with lighter content, although they took very different approaches. For example, "Alles Klara" is pure comedy, but there's not much cheer in these "Großstadtrevier" and "Morden im Norden" edits.

Only "Morden im Norden," "Hubert ohne Staller," and, of course, "Großstadtrevier" are still running today, but they still deliver the goods. The most recent "Großstadtrevier" episode, "Puderzuckerexpress," contained two scenes (one pictured above), and a feature-length "Morden im Norden," "Am Abgrund," kicked off 2024 with two more superb scenes for Tessa Mittelstaedt.

This feature showcases our top favourites from "Alles Klara," "Heiter bis Tödlich," and "Großstadtrevier." As expected, every edit is 1080p with optional English subtitles.

If you're wondering, "Wolke" is pronounced "Volker." It's also German for cloud!

At the time of writing, full episodes of many featured scenes are available globally and free of charge in full HD on the official DasErste streaming website. It's a German site, so don't expect English subtitles! Every Alles Klara episode is there, but many are only available in Germany.

The German WikiPedia articles are more accurate and up-to-date than English ones, so they are the place to start if you want to learn more about any shows (most browsers will translate them if needed). You'll find information and behind-the-scenes footage on DasErste, too.
